2007-2013 Subaru Impreza review
The new generation All-Wheel Drive Subaru Impreza is the new benchmark for Subaru design and engineering.
The new Impreza features a number of major technical innovations including massive fuel efficiency and emission improvements, sophisticated styling and a completely revamped interior.
Available in sedan and hatch, its highlights include:
Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) that – along with the new FB 2.0 litre horizontally-opposed Boxer engine - delivers combined fuel consumption of 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres – 22 per cent ahead of the superseded automatic Impreza.
Availability of a smooth six-speed manual that consumes just 7.1 l/100 km in the combined cycle – 20 per cent ahead of the equivalent current car.
Fuel efficiency and emission improvements - Impreza with CVT emissions are 157 grams of CO2 per km – 24 per cent better than the current four-speed auto, while the new manual produces just 164 g/km, a significant 21 per cent improvement.
The introduction of new Auto Start Stop fuel-saving technology
Sophisticated styling, spacious cabins with a new level of soft-touch surfaces and high-grade switchgear
Multi-Function Displays with a wealth of information for drivers including rear view camera images fuel efficiency data
